KUNDALINI vis-a-vis CHARISMATIC TRANSMEDIUMSHIP

[Guest guest]

EDITED EXTRACT from a contributor to another website. Please note

it is strictly that person's opinion:

 

" I was born and raised in the Pentecostal church when it was in its

infancy - in the 1930s. I have many, many family members who are

charismatic and close family who are practicing ministers in the

charismatic movement. I have sat through twenty years of being

surrounded by and witnessing the " speaking in tongues, " babbling,

ecstatic rolling on the floor, rolling of the head and eyes while

foaming at the mouth, and many other manifestations of

the " charismatic " experience. What they all have in common is that

in almost every case the person displaying any one of these things

is that - they have absolutely no memory of what they just

experienced. I have been told this personally by both of my parents

(who have displayed these activities) and many others who have

experienced them. This is not kundalini. This is trancemediumship.

Trancemediumship is the ability of the individual entity to leave

their body and to allow another entity (who doesn't have a body) to

enter and control their reality. We are all trancemediums but most

of us are sufficiently present to control our reality and know what

is going on. Regardless of whether or not you know what has

happened while another entity is present, you - the owner of the

body - are responsible for what happens to it and with it 24/7.

The kundalini that I began practicing twenty-five years ago is the

kundalini that runs up the spine. I was taught how to control it

and use it for my personal benefit yet it has taken me a long time

to learn to use it correctly. Yes you can have a kundalini

style " religious " experience, but with that type the individual is

generally not in control though they can be. I have had some

wonderful kundalini experiences (still do). I have been awakened

wide awake in the middle of the night and unable to return to sleep

because my kundalini was running so strongly (and I could feel it

running clearly up my spine) and I was unable to turn it back down

for several hours. I've had all sorts of kundalini experiences and

am aware of it constantly (running up my spine) but it's not for me

to define it to you, but for others to experience it. You don't

need a guru for it (you don't need a guru for anything, you are your

own guru), but an experienced teacher who teaches you how to turn it

on and off is essential for practical application. "

 

Chris, how do you feel about this Kundalini vs Charismatic energy

distinction?
